2 Timothy 1:7 English Standard Version (ESV) 7 for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. But what is the Spirit of Fear? This is a Spirit that makes us turn away from God, not trust in God, that Gods way is not the only or right way, […]
Fear
Did God give us fear? I think so, but not the Spirit of Fear. You may ask what is the difference? Spirit of Fear is to drive us away from God, to think that God hates us and wants to see us fail, it is a tormenting fear. 2 Timothy 1:7 King James Version (KJV) […]
Sensitivity
My feelings are hurt and we need to do something about it. That is the attitude of people these days. While the Bible does say to avoid harsh words, it does not say go back and basically rewrite history to avoid hurting peoples feelings. Proverbs 15:1 New International Version (NIV) 15 A gentle answer turns away […]
Scammers
I know we are to trust in the Lord with everything and I honestly try to live that way, but I wonder how much we are supposed to do? Are we supposed to question those things that just seem to good to be true? Are we suppose to question those things that we know are […]

For His Glory

God is Evil
Now before all you people flip out about the title, God is not evil. However, I wanted to get your attention and I hope I did. God is love and the sooner we come to understand and accept that, the better off we are People think that God is not loving or He is evil […]
Compassion
I am not an overly compassionate person. I do feel sympathy when someone is hurt provided they were not the cause, but as far as the person that caused the misfortune/hurt, I am not sympathetic. You may wonder why, as a Christian aren’t I supposed to love my neighbor as I would love myself? That […]
Tattoos
My son recently got a tattoo and I am not thrilled. I realize that he is an adult and can make these decisions for himself, but I am still a bit upset with the decision he made. Do not get me wrong, I find tattoos to be incredible works of art. However, we are not […]
